Google wasn’t even incorporated until September 4, 1998.

Another example was how “patients like me” is the new model. It has at most 15,000 people who belong out of a population of 325 million? I don’t want to have to determine if someone posting on a social network is really just a drug rep now read sample populations of “one” and somehow over-ride my doctor’s advice.

The average (consumer/patient) has an 8th grade education and I really don’t think they know more then a doctor with a graduate degree. There is nothing that will implode this faster then over-hyping and using early adopters as the example of what people want or need.

Why for example do 20% of the population smoke when they know the consequences? Do you honestly think that something online will change their behavior? Do people who have full access to financial records online make better financial decisions as a result of that information? Nope.
